My parents were able to come and visit us in September for a really nice visit. We had 3 birthdays that we had to make up celebrations for and a lot of hanging out to do. The boys were mostly excited about seeing them, getting a cookie cake again, and taking Grandma and Pa to the zoo. :D I am so thankful that both of our sets of parents have been able to come out and see us so often as it truly is a blessing and we enjoy every moment of it!!! As can be seen by the pictures that follow :)
Of course in our house you get grabbed for story time immediately
Grandma even stepped in and helped Jake with his homework, I think he had more fun with her than doing it with Mommy :)
Then of course the zoo...the boys had been telling them about our wonderful zoo for months and so we took them their second day here. :) First stop of course had to be the Spider Monkeys :D
The boys and Grandma helping to welcome the zoogoers :)
Ahhhh, such fun checking out the zebras and giraffes
The boys also got to do a first and feed the giraffes. Jake LOVED it!
AJ liked it too but just kinda threw a piece at the top of the fence... did not want to get eaten with the lettuce :) (therefore no pic of AJ feeding the giraffe)
Then Jake had to show Pa the baby rhino
With AJ and Grandma soon to follow
Fun time at the playground
There was also a baby gorilla that was adorable
As we are also in t-ball season, Jake also wanted to practice with Pa...and his brand new t :)
Its gonna fly!!!!
Pa giving Jake some pointers
AJ had to climb the slide to get a good look
Now its AJ's turn to try
The boys exchanging advice
AJ decided his Rangers souvenir helmet was a better choice
I think Pa was having fun too :)
Poor Pa was playing catch with Jake and catching hit balls from AJ at the same time...it can be dangerous in our backyard :)
Book and teeth brushing time!
And again with the books! Love that I have two little book lovers
On one of the afternoons when Jake was at school AJ and I took Grandma and Pa to see the OU campus
It was a really nice day and just fun to show them the sites
Including the Sooners football stadium, with an added bonus...
...we were able to go inside :) (a lady at an info booth told us we could)
Wow!
AJ thought it was pretty cool
Ahhh both kids getting book time at the same time, the boys so loved having them here
Grandma being super patient and racing with AJ for a very long time... even though AJ would not share the fast car :)
Jake chatting with his Pa
Some pre-game relaxation :) Jake is ready for T-ball
AJ set up his own spot while the boys practiced before the game
Jake at bat!
Jake really loves that his daddy helps coach
Then after the game we all went to the Oklahoma State Fair for some good food and fun
AJ won this ball and he was completely in love. :)
Jake was also a little lucky with the games
Then Grandma and Pa bought each of the boys something special
I think AJ's is bigger than he is
Happy and Very tired boys
But the best way to cool off after a fair...a swim in the pool :)
Some Wal-Mart shopping cuteness after church their last day here. :)
Jake was also going to be "Wildcat of the Week" in his class the following week and so we needed to work on his poster. It was really special because my mom got to help him make it. Jake's first big project and he was really proud of it. Loved having it up in his class all week and then we hung it in his room when he brought it home. :)
Jake's Super Kid poster
Happy Boy, he also loved it because it meant that as the "Wildcat of the Week" he got to bring in one item for show and tell on Monday. His choice, his beloved Blue Bear that has been his buddy since he was just months old. So cute. :)
Such a wonderful visit, now we are looking forward to Grandma Peg, Pa Wayne and Aunt B to come for Thanksgiving and Grandma Eileen and Pa Gary to come for Christmas. See I told you we were blessed :)
